MortgageBASE Basics
MortgageBASE is a revolutionary mortgage brokerage system. Designed by industry
professionals, the software provides user-friendly, leading edge technology to mortgage
brokers. Our goal is to ensure our clients’ complete satisfaction by providing
communication, administration, marketing and system support that will all increase revenues
for the broker.
Besides it’s capabilities as a database for your clients, contacts, private & institutional
lenders, appraisers and referral sources, MortgageBASE also gives the mortgage broker the
power to print all the Ministry-required documentation for each file. Although MortgageBASE
provides all users with detailed, up-to-date rate and product information by the lenders; the
broker can also maintain a database of their own private lenders. A full complement of
reports is available which can be customized to suit the individual broker’s needs and will
provide information including broker/agent splits, maturity dates and monthly mortgage
MortgageBASE funding.
MortgageBASE functions are further enhanced by the communications aspect of the program,
the main feature of which is the electronic transmission of mortgage applications to on-line
lenders. This feature speeds up the application, underwriting, approval and commitment
processes by transmitting the client’s data via MortgageBASE’s electronic gateway. This
communication system is also used to provide the broker and their agents with the lenders’
rate and product information.
MortgageBASE is Windows based software, so if you remember that many Windows features
will be found throughout the program, you will find it very user-friendly. You move from
screen to screen making use of the tabs and the drop down menus.
